What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{63} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
63\( \sqrt{7} \)
16\( \sqrt{441} \)
30\( \sqrt{7} \)
63\( \sqrt{63} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

7\( \sqrt{63} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(7)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
21\( \sqrt{7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

21\( \sqrt{7} \) + 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(21 + 9)\( \sqrt{7} \)
30\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for division

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


3

If a car travels 45 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
65 mph
30 mph
70 mph
45 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{45mi}{1h} \)
45 mph


4

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 30% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $42, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$12.60
$29.40
$71.40
$46.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $42 x \( \frac{30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$42 x 30}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1260}{100} \) = $12.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$42.00 + ($42.00 - $12.60)
$42.00 + $29.40
$71.40


5

What is (a4)5?

80% Answer Correctly
a20
a-1
a9
4a5

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(a4)5
a(4 * 5)
a20
